AMMONNEWS - A humanitarian aid convoy dispatched by the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) in cooperation with the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army, arrived in the Gaza Strip on Monday via the King Hussein Bridge.

The commander of the Jordan Field Hospital/Gaza 53, Col. Awad al-Hawadi, said that the aid aims at supporting the people of Gaza, pointing out that such convoys are dispatched on regular basis to keep the hospital functioning.
